NickMe

A bukkit plugin which permits users to set custom namecolors through nicknames without permitting special characters or impersonation.

Checks Available through NickMe:

• Nickname Check to verify that the nickname with colors matches the player name
• Nickname Check to verify that no formatting characters are used in player nicknames
• Nickname Check to verify that the K (obfuscation, aka fast text) character isn't used in player nicknames
• Nickname length check

Originally designed for use on PrimeMC and TheCapital.


Requirements:
Essentials - used to set the nicknames
Any chat management plugin - required for colors to show
Permission system (optional) - required to give certain ranks access

Installation:
1. Drop NickMe-VERSION.jar into your plugins folder.
2. Configure/Setup permissions using the info provided below.
3. Set the essentials nickname limit to 48 (or whatever you want it to be; I'd suggest 48). 4. Have Fun?

Permissions/Commands (all default to OP if no permission system is present):
nickme.use - Set your nickname (players may reset their nicknames to their default IGN without this)
nickme.reload - Reload the plugin
nickme.permitspecial - Give players permission to use formatting characters (ex. strikethrough, underline, bold).
nickme.permitk - Give players permission to use K (the obfuscation, aka fast text) character in their nickname.
nickme.anyname - Permit players to use a name that doesn't exactly match their username.

Configuration:
maxnicklength: The maximum length that will be accepted. Defaults to 48 (16 char username with a color code for each letter).
debug: Defaults to false. Used by me to find bugs. Please ignore this.

/nickme [nickname] - Set your nickname to whatever is fed in, with a few caveats (mentioned below).
/nickme version - See the current version of the plugin that is installed.
/nickme reload - Reload the plugin's config file.
